20140148668 | ANALYTE METER WITH BASIC AND ADVANCED METER PRESET MODE SELECTION BASED ON STRUCTURED QUERIES - Described are methods and systems to allow users to select a basic mode or an advanced mode in which additional features can be customized for the user based on structured queries presented to the user. | 05-29-2014 |
20140253323 | LOW ANALYTE LEVEL ALERT SYSTEM FROM CONTINUOUS ANALYTE MONITOR - Described are embodiments of a system or method configured to emit an alert indicator in response to detecting an anomalous analyte event in a patient wearing a continuous analyte monitor. Absent a response from the patient to the alert indicator, the system or method escalates the alert notifications by communicating alert messages to other alarm devices or to caregivers that may be needed to assist the patient. | 09-11-2014 |
20140374275 | GLUCOSE-MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS PRESENTING ICONS - A glucose measurement system includes a display and a biosensor that provides a signal representative of a glucose level of a fluid sample. A processor determines glucose data values and a rate of change of blood glucose using the signal. The processor can determine a state band and a rate band using the values and rate, and display a state icon colored per the state band and a rate icon colored and shaped per the rate band. The processor does not display any other indication of the determined rate of change or of any of the stored glucose data values. The processor can also display a unified icon shaped per the rate of change, with a prevailing color determined using the values. The processor does not display any other indication of the determined rate of change or of any of the stored glucose data values. Corresponding methods are also described. | 12-25-2014 |
20140379358 | INSERTION-SITE DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A decision support system for a patient includes a storage device holding data of various insertion sites. Each site represents an area on a human body at which a medical device can be inserted into the body. Also stored are data indicative of sites that have been used by the patient. A processor determines whether various sites are recommended and indicates recommendations on a display. The processor receives a selection of a site and updates the stored data. The system can also determine recommendations for two different medical devices and update stored data indicative of the used sites for one of them with a selected site. A method of recommending an insertion site includes receiving an indication of a site that should not be used, determining whether each of the sites is recommended using the indication, displaying the recommendations and updating the stored data based on a received user selection. | 12-25-2014 |
20140379360 | LOW GLUCOSE TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES - Described are methods and systems to allow persons with diabetes to determine the most optimal treatment for low blood glucose or hypoglycemia, which conditions affect each diabetic differently. Because each individual's body reacts differently to each of the treatment options proposed by the HCP, embodiments of this invention will allow the user to find the most effective treatment for hypoglycemia tailored to the particular user. This inventive solution helps them to remember the options that worked best, and over a period of time during operation of the invention learns to present only those options that work best. | 12-25-2014 |

20110054408 | DELIVERY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, TOOLS, AND METHODS OF USE - A covering for delivering a substance or material to a surgical site is provided. The covering, with substance provided therein, may be referred to as a delivery system. Generally, the covering may be a single or multi-compartment structure capable of at least partially retaining a substance provided therein until the covering is placed at a surgical site. Upon placement, the covering may facilitate transfer of the substance or surrounding materials. For example, the substance may be released (actively or passively) to the surgical site. The covering may participate in, control, or otherwise adjust the release of the substance. In various embodiments, the covering is suitable for a variety of procedure specific uses. Implantation tools may be provided for placing the covering at a surgical site. Kits may be provided including variously sized or shaped coverings and one or more tools for use in placing the covering. | 03-03-2011 |

20100082072 | BONE ANCHORS FOR ORTHOPEDIC APPLICATIONS - Bone anchors and related methods for their use are described. The inventive anchor is suitable for placement in bone and for use in orthopedic surgery and dentistry. The bone anchor can be made from a bone/polymer or bone substitute/polymer composite, and can provide a firm and secure base for attaching a fastening device. The bone anchor can be used in various orthopedic and dental procedures including spinal surgery, where normal, cancellous, cortical, diseased or osteoporotic bone is present. The bone anchor can be resorbed and/or replaced with native bone tissue over a period of time. In certain embodiments, the bone anchor is made malleable or flowable and formed in situ or in vivo. | 04-01-2010 |
